Songfacts:
This is based on a book by Alice Walker called Possessing The Secret Of Joy, which details how mothers in some cultures sell their daughters to men who remover their genitals. Tori says it is about "Betrayal between women." The cereal bowl is used as a metaphor for divisions among women. The "Cornflake Girls" are close-minded while the "Raisin Girls" are open to new ideas. Before she became famous, Tori appeared in a commercial for Kellogg's "Just Right" cereal, beating out Sarah Jessica Parker, who was also unknown at the time, for the part. Tori played piano in the ad. Kellogg's also makes Cornflakes. Tori's record company released a series of Cornflakes boxes with her picture on them to promote this. They are now collector's items. (thanks, Maria - Toronto, Canada)
As far as is Tori Amos being bad or good, she's just a singer.

In 1984, she was in a television commercial for Kellogg's "Just Right" Cereal. To get her face on the box, Amos beat out a few other actresses, one of them being the equally-unknown Sarah Jessica Parker. (thanks, Iscariot - Tempe, AZ)
She started playing the piano at 2 years of age. At age 5, she won a scholarship to the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland, becoming the youngest person ever admitted.
At 17, she changed her name to Tori Amos. Her name given at birth was Myra Ellen Amos.
Her favorite pianos are Bosendorfers.
In 1988 she formed a band called "Y Kant Tori Read" (with Guns'n'Roses drummer Matt Sorum, among others) and they released their self-titled album. It did not do very well. (thanks, Aimee - Auckland, New Zealand, for all above)
When she was 16, she played in a piano bar in Washington, DC, where she learned to play just about any song that was requested.
